Time trialist, you may honestly be the dumbest person to ever post on LR with the exception of Jamin. Walmsley sucks? How many times does he have to set a CR anywhere for you to change your opinion? He just set the 40 year 50 mile WR. Killian has never come close to that or the 100k WR, or the 100 mile WR. Does Jim need to win WS for a 3rd time in a row while setting yet another CR for you to stop being an ass hat? Does he need to set the 100k WR for your brain to suddenly start working?

He won't win because he's not as good at mountain running

Those shoes are a disadvantage in the mountains and most technical terrain.
It's not Walmsley's fault (although he's not recovered from Western States), but too much foam between the foot and the terrain. No HOKA athlete has ever won a major mountain race like UTMB - it's always Salomon or Asics guys.
Not a great trail shoe. Great for flat dirt running, but get into scree and the skags like Norway and Scotland, you have no chance with that footwear choice.

Getting real here, way to ignore every other data point in order to point out one race where he only managed to set one world best and not two. What an abject failure. Kipchoge is such a crappy runner too. Can you believe he didn't break the half marathon world best enroute to setting the marathon world best. What a joke! He should pack it in now.
As an FYI, it is a near certainty Jim will break the 100k world best now that he doesn't have to worry about 50 miles. He absolutely can pace himself, as proven by the fact he has now won states twice in a row, each time with a CR. How on earth have you possibly managed to convince yourself that he can't pace himself? Don't be a hater just because you can't even run 1 mile at his 50 mile pace.
